This is what I've got outstanding from you:
* IGNORE_PLUGIN_BASE/IGNORE_STD_PLUGINS patch

I don't like this I'm afraid. On an aesthetic level, I think options
should be positive (DO_THIS) rather than negative (DONT_DO_THIS) wherever
possible. So it would be better to allow the user to explicitly set
STD_PLUGINS and/or PLUGIN_BASE to undef. Also, Template::Provider::Allow
and T::P::Deny provide a more general mechanism for restricting access
to resources.
But above all else there's no tests or documentation, so that one doesn't
make the grade.
Sorry for the delay in my response Andy. I've been extremely busy
lately. I've got a better patch here (attached) and am working on docs.
(Already created tests, but will attach later with docs.) Hopefully that
will work better. I also am going to get rid of the STD_PLUGINS part of
that previous patch as there was no real need for it. I must've been
smoking crack at the time, as you can simply override
Template::Plugins::STD_PLUGINS. ;) The PLUGIN_BASE deal cannot simply be
set to undef, as we still add 'Template::Plugins' no matter what. So I'm
adding a config option: 'ADD_DEFAULT_PLUGIN_BASE'. (As can be seen in
patch.) I've also included another option "PLUGINS_USE_LOWERCASE" which
just says that all keys in STD_PLUGINS and PLUGINS are lowercase, and
that we can use those plugins in a case insensitive manner. (ie: [% USE
TABLE %])
I offered to enter them into CVS myself back in the day, but never
heard back from Andy, so I'm assuming that's a rejection stamp for
CVS access. ;)
Sorry Josh, but I don't have any recollection of you asking, so it's
not a rejection stamp. However if you want to be a TT maintainer then
you do need to convince me that you would be as commited to the
documentation and tests as to the codebase.
Ok Andy/guys,
Sorry for quoting so much, but I thought it was all relevant since there have
been substantial gaps of time between posts. Here is my new and improved
plugins patch with added documentation and tests. I also got rid of the
IGNORE_STD_PLUGINS config option in the previous patch, as this can be overrode
already via $Template::Plugins::STD_PLUGINS = {}; (I've made a note of that in
the documentation.) I think I've added to the documentation correctly, but feel
free to critique.
